1. Ive been thinking about this proverb. Its found in chapter 27 verse 17.
A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb,
But to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
I heard this quote recently and I thought it fit perfectly with this verse. Its by G.K. Chesterton:
The only way to enjoy even a weed is to feel unworthy even of a weed.
I hope that makes sense. It makes perfect sense if a hungry soul is a humble soul.
2. Met with Terri today. We spoke about Paul and how he said “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” And yet that’s not all that Paul let them know. He goes on to address so many other things but foundational to him were the King and His cross. Mainly, the gospel. Foundational to salvation, to sanctification, to life, to everything. Ter and I have made that our aim as well.
3. God owns everything. This should cause us as His children to never doubt His provision but to take risks knowing that He can provide in every possible way. He owns the world. If money to get overseas is your fear you’ve lost sight of your Father. Renounce that. He owns the universe. Trust Him. If its His will He will get your there.
4. Not at all thinking about school. So much so that I need to remind myself to remember that I have a class in July.
5. Considering meeting my grandfather for the first time. He lives both in Arauca and Bogota (Colombia). No he is not omnipresent, he just owns houses in various places. And I think he even has property in Venezuela. Either way, I want to give him the gospel! And see if I can do ministry around where he lives. Also considering taking a team of students to Colombia if the Lord opens doors.
6. I really dont like the guy from wretched. Arrogance is not the way to communicate truth. Im with Matt Chandler on this. Some who call themselves reformed are an arrogant bunch of fools who claim to value the doctrines of grace yet are scarcely gracious.
7. I want my dad to know the Lord. // For while the lamp holds out to burn, The vilest sinner may return.//
8. Gods been providing financially for Haiti. He is so faithful.
9. Praying for a tender heart towards the Lord. I want to enjoy Him and love Him.
10. Time for bed. One last thought. “The deepest and most enduring happiness is found only in God. Not from God, but in God.”–John Piper
